Well that was a very interesting night last night again as we wind down closing in on the

on the end of the regular season but before we get to any of the races, I did want to get to talk about Ryan

Nugent Hopkins.

So last night, he has a monster night. He has five points. He's now up to 96 on the season. Now for those playing the home game

tell me if you had Ryan Nugent Hopkins on your bingo card as third fiddle to Connor McDavid and Leon

Drysital. And if you say yes you're a liar because the career high for Ryan

Nugent Hopkins in points was 69 going into this season. He is at the reverse of that 96 with games remaining.

Now the last time that three teammates had a hundred points in a season was 95 96 Ron Francis Yarmriagger, Mario Lemieux.

Now that was a long time ago and I mean we got kind of close to it last year.

The flames had two guys that, well, Gedro and Kacuck had had a hundred point seasons Lindholm was close is

But we're gonna see that like Ryan Eugene Hopkins is getting four points the rest of the way here

What I was curious about was can he catch Nikita Kutrov. Now that's a

that's a really tall task here. Kutrov is up to I believe 104 points. It was an

eight point spread between the two,

but maybe Nikita Kutrov gets a night off here.

Maybe he needs to rest a little bit.

And maybe Ryan Nugent Hopkins can take advantage of that because as it stands right now the

Edmonton Oilers are still very much in the thick of things in the Pacific Division for that

crown especially after beating the team that's in first place, the Vegas Golden Knights.

The last time that teammates finished one, two, three

in the scoring was the 86, 87 season.

Wayne Gretzky, Yari Curry, and Mark Messier was actually tied for third.
